Rumor: Philly signed Adarius Bowman

I like the signing, dude will be on a short leash. He better straighten up and show them he can play.

isnt he slower than witten? Stephen jones said we needed 3 more wr to take to camp so they were filling a numbers need.

I think its possible that for whatever reason he didn't train properly for the 40 yard dash. Most of these guys run 4.6s and 4.7s until they train extensively, which gets them down to the 4.4s.

He doesn't look slow on the field though.

We spent a pick on Bryant. Bowman is a FA, so there's no real investment. You're comparing apples to oranges.

A 2nd rd pick at that.

Hot damn. Through about 3/4 of the season this guy was considered a 1st round talent.

He had 1000+ yards and 17 YPC in his last two season. He caught over 60% of the passes targeted at him, so he can catch. The guy just had a terrible Senior Bowl week. I think it's absurd to let one week of practice wipe out two amazingly productive years in college.

Great signing.

Yeah, I remember when he was considered a sure 1st rounder. He looked like a beast at times his previous two years.

I'm more worried about his pot bust right before the combine... That's some world-class stupidity.

But it's hard to believe he didn't have some kind of health problem to fall off as badly as he did the last few months.

Hopefully going completely undrafted scared the weed right out of him. If not, oh well, we didn't lose a thing.
 
so we did get a receiver I did think he would get would get drafted but hey he might be a player
 
I'm glad we got him. Going undrafted, he should feel like he has something to prove. Well let's see what he can do in training camp. Because of his college production you would think he can show us something. We don't need another reason to be excited about training camp but this news provides one anyways.

If not, maybe a visit from Bigg, Flo, and Canty would do it. :D
 
I absolutely love this signing. No risk, all potential reward. Nothing to lose signing an UDFA. Maybe he'll live up to his ability and then we'll have another absolute steal. If not, so long Adarius.
 
With his head screwed on right he is an absolute beast on the field. I love this signing.
